The place was just as described! We originally booked the place for 4 days but loved it so much that we extended our stay. It's further away from the city center but not far that you can't get there. It's a great place to really experience living around the locals as there were not as many tourists around. I never got to meet the host directly due to my flight delays and conflicting time schedule but she was always responsive to my messages. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Thailand.
